Resident Evil Revelations, or the Resident Evil game for 3DS that isn’t a complete rip-off now has an official release date. From what I played of the game in it’s E3 build, I can most definitely say that this title will be something 3DS owners will want to have in there collection. Mercenaries 3D was a nice distraction and had some fun, addictive beat-the-high-score style gameplay, but honestly it could have been an additional mode in a proper Resident Evil title (just as the mercenaries mini-games before it were in Resident Evil 4 and 5).
Revelations looks to be another title in the tried and true Resident Evil universe that sticks to the survival horror gameplay that has made the Resident Evil titles great. What I want in my Resident Evil titles is inventory management coupled with a few mind boggling puzzles to break up the “shoot the zombie in the head” gameplay.
If you plan on picking up the game, it may be worth your while to preorder from LameGameStop as they are offering a free bonus 3DS case to those that do. The 3DS case changes in the sunlight making your 3DS that much nerdier cooler.
Resident Evil Revelations will be available in North America on February 7, 2012. Who plans on picking up the game come next year?
While I really should be talking about the game… Honest, curious question:
What's wrong with GameStop? o.o
@hypersonic it's a classic case of nerd superiority. Often those who fit within the classic stereotype of a nerd will latch onto something as an object of their disapproval. They then use this to attempt to sway others to their opinion, inserting the undertone of, "well this is common knowledge, if you don't hold my opinion then you cannot possibly be as enlightened as me" (commonly this is demonstrated by saying it in the same tone as, "you… just left your soiled underpants in my bath house…"). It's quasi intellectual subtile nerd bullying. Also, no one can argue whether or not they are a nerd. If you write for a nintendo news site, you are a nerd. Likewise, if you read this website regularly, you are a nerd. Don't deny it, wear it like a badge of honor, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Being a nerd bully however, is deplorable.
@HyperSonic:
"What's Wrong With GameStop" could be the title of a five volume series. The employees are usually great, and do their best given their situation.
By the way, have you signed up for our club? Oh, did I ask you that last time? You sure you haven't changed your mind? Did I tell you about the benefits? Mind if I tell you again? Mind if I tell you next time? And the time after that? No, we don't have any new copies left, but we've got plenty of used copies for a small percentage less. If you want a new copy, you'd better reserve. Anything you want to reserve now? You sure? Don't you want to reserve (Game A)? How about (Game B)? How about (Game C)? It's not too late to sign up for the club.
Again, it's not the employees' fault; they're just trying to keep their jobs. GameStop isn't the only business on earth trying to squeeze out every extra cent through the most crass ways possible, but that fact doesn't make a GameStop experience any less aggravating. There should be a "Trenches"-like website for ex-GameStop employees to talk about their experiences. Maybe there already is.
I love the Resident Evil gameplay and style and atmosphere, but I despise the puzzles.
Doing a seemingly random and out-of-the-way series of tasks with nearly no way of knowing what to do should not constitute a puzzle.
Day 1
@HyperSonic
After working for GameStop for 3+ years I can tell you that many of their practices are completely underhanded and bad for the industry as a whole. As Richard stated above, if employees don't pester customers to reserve games and purchase magazine subscriptions, the powers that be (usually a district manager) will come down with an iron fist.
Not to mention the fact that employees are allowed to open brand new games and take the disks home, only to turn around and sell that said game as NEW! That, is unacceptable in my eyes.
Don't get me started with Deus Ex……
@Yossarian
Trust me, I am as nerdy as they come. As for the rest of your comment…well let's just say you lost me at hello.
Day 1 buy for me as well.
I'm a huge Resident Evil fan, but I didn't buy Mecenaries though.
I'm really looking forward for that game.
It look like somekind of mix between a classic Resident Evil game and a Resident Evil 4 like.
Really interesting !!!
